Title: Dual Installation p3d v.4 and v.5?
Post by jalbino59 on Nov 17^th, 2020 at 11:41pm

Hello, just a couple questions if anyone is still using v.4 and v.5 installations on their machines.

Is it possible to install your compatible software on both sims at the same time? If it is possible does ACE work on both installations or will there be another independent ACE? I have the sims installed on different drives.

Each installation into P3Dv4, and P3Dv5, installs a separate copy of ACE to the Prepar3D vX\Captain_Sim\ folder (i.e. 767-II\ace folder), and each copy of ACE works independently of the other. They are also listed separately in Windows Start Menu > Captain Sim (see attached image)

So, for example, if you open the ACE for the 767 Captain II for P3Dv5, it will only have an affect on the 767 II installed in P3Dv5.
